Chateau Cantenac Brown BriO de Cantenac Brown Margaux 2019

$3999

The second wine of Margaux Third Growth Château Cantenac Brown, named for the cheerful brio of its more open, fruit-forward style. The blend leans Merlot in this cuvée (with the usual support of Cabernet Sauvignon and a dash of Cabernet Franc), and it's aged with a lighter touch on new oak — generally around 20% — to keep the fruit front and center. The 2019 is a beautiful vintage for Margaux, and this captures it nicely: violets, red cherry, a brush of cedar, silky tannins, and that aromatic lift that's the calling card of the appellation. The Margaux you reach for on a Tuesday.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The 2019 Brio de Cantenac Brown is a powerful, deep wine. A burst of succulent red cherry fruit, plum, spice, new leather and tobacco lends exuberance. This open-knit, inviting second wine will be a delight to drink over the next handful of years."

Decanter

91 points

"Bramble aromas alongside wild herbal notes and touches of cedar and wood spice. Crunchy and vibrant fruit, this has a really lovely clarity and precision to both the fruit flavours and the tannins. Supple but also with tension and a sense of drive from start to finish. An enticing mineral, wet stone edge underneath as well which gives lift and freshness. A lovely second wine with style."
